“I tried to help him out, and try and get answers on how many tickets I could get from my teammates and players and people and try and get that done as early as possible,” Eli said, via Jordan Raanan of NJ.com. “So once they start preparation this week, he has everything solved before you get to the city you’re playing the Super Bowl.

“I think that is kind of the biggest help I could be to him at this point. Obviously, I know his friends and family, to try to get them settled so they are not dealing with him and he has to worry about that.”

The two have experience at this game, as Peyton played concierge when Eli brought the Giants to Indianapolis for the Super Bowl, and Peyton used his hometown advantage there two years ago.

And so Eli’s been hitting up co-workers, since Giants players and staff and employees were offered face value tickets for the game.

“He was very helpful in dealing with family and friends and trying to take that burden off me,” Eli said. “It’s something we kind of learned having played in a few of these. You try and get all that stuff done by this week.”

So Eli is handling ticket turnovers for his brother. Eli should be real good at that…

Peyton: “Now that tickets are settled, give me your thoughts on how to beat the Seahawks.”

Eli: “Well, I like to start off by throwing the ball right to them. Do that 3 or 4 times and you’ll have them so confused….their Defense will be scoring touchdowns, and their offense may not know what to do!”

Just remember this guys, Eli a 2 x SB MVP is Peyton’s caddie. And that’s the best gig he’s had all year. Don’t question Peyton’s status.

NFL employees who are caught swelling their tix above face value are subject to immediate dismissal from the league. This rule still applies if they sell their tix to a broker. I know of a former on-field NFL referee who was fired because he scalped his tickets

They’re brothers, they’ll help each other out, scrap for a while, and then give each other a hug.

It’s amazing with their number of SB appearances, the brothers now have a sort of system in place for each other. Incredible and classy family.

He always was Peyton’s personal water boy.

He can teach him the art and science of throwing five picks to the Seahawks.

Spanked and humiliated by Petyon?! Aww, that’s cute. Like one of the best defenses in the last 30 years is just going to roll over and play dead. The Hawks haven’t been spanked or humiliated in over two seasons. I think you all seem to be forgetting that this isn’t some MEDIOCRE AFC defense that the Broncos are going up against. Three letters for ya…LOB, baby!
